Opening October 17th to 19th and running the 22nd to 26th, the Schenectady Civic Players start their 81st season with the hilarious Hollywood comedy Moonlight and Magnolias, by Ron Hutchinson. It's the story of the last minute rewrite of Gone With the Wind's screenplay. Set in 1939, producer David O. Selznick has called in crack writer, Ben Hecht for help, but he hasn't read the book! Stong-willed director Victor Fleming is called in from the set of "Wizard of Oz". Selznick and Fleming act out the play while the writer gets it all down.
The historic Civic Playhouse is set in the Stockade District at 12 S. Church Street. Evening shows start at 8 PM, Sunday afternoon matinees at 2:30 PM. Call the box office at (518) 382-2081 or visit www.civicplayers.org for tickets.
